Release and nudity violation
Release and nudity violation
The game was released digitally on Steam and the Nintendo eShop. Just one day after release, the game was delisted from the eShop in Japan. This occurred after the discovery of exposed nipples during a split-second frame in the game. The Japanese version was censored and received an age rating of "D" by CERO (ages 17 and up), in which bare genitals are not allowed. A physical release for Switch was released in Europe on November 20, 2020, by Funbox Media. It has the "fully uncensored" mode as opposed to the digital release.

A sequel was released named Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy, released on July 29, 2021, on PC and later for Nintendo Switch. This game is set in an era featuring elves, demons and other mystical figures.
Reception
Waifu Uncovered on the Switch has "mixed or average" reviews according to aggregator Metacritic. Nintendo Life wrote in its review "Waifu Uncovered has a laser-focused target audience and it caters perfectly to that audience. If you fall outside of that demographic, how much you'll enjoy this game will depend entirely on your receptiveness to hand-drawn, mildly lewd pinup-style art and puerile humour coupled with solid shoot 'em up action." In a later post, "it was largely puerile and immature, but the shmup mechanics sitting beneath the smut were actually quite solid".
